CRAY TRIUMPH THROUGH LATE SALES WINNER
Cray Valley Ladies reached the final of the Kent Women's Plate after beating Sevenoaks Town 1-0 at Greatness Park this afternoon with Eve Sales scoring the winner in the 79th minute. Katie Jackson raced down the left flank and after cutting inside saw her shot from inside the area parried by the Town keeper, however Sales was in the right place at the right time and took full advantage firing home the rebound past a covering defender on the line.

An excellent game summed up by a tweet from yesterday's match referee Ste Daley who was ably assisted by Mike Coward and Michael Corderoy.

Sunday 27th February 2022 - Kent Women's Plate
Quarter Final - Cray Valley 1 Bromley 0
Goal: CV - De Sousa 5

MILLERS LADIES REACH CUP SEMI FINAL
Cray Valley Ladies earned a semi-final place in the Kent FA Womens Plate beating Bromley by the only goal of the game scored in the fifth minute by Danielle De Souza. After Lauren Henry's free kick was blocked, the ball fell to Lia Morphitis whose pass found Katie Jackson, her ball in sat up nicely for De Souza to execute a fine finish on the volley high into the corner of the net, giving the keeper no chance.
Bromley pressed forward in search of an equaliser and Samantha Sharp in the Cray goal made the first of a number of excellent saves in the 14th minute. Vittoria D'Urso the Cray centre back came to the rescue 6 minutes later with a goal line clearance. Cray was forced onto the back foot but good defending saw out the half to go into the interval with a one goal lead.
Second half possession was dominated by Bromley with the bulk of the chances going their way however Cray continued to defend very well and Sharp in goal had a terrific game. Cray rode their luck a bit at times and Bromley saw the ball hit the cross bar twice in quick succession but Sharp was alert to the rebound each time. Cray rarely troubled the Bromley keeper although she was forced to make a save from a Grace Dodds shot with just over ten minutes remaining. Late on Sharp made another save stretching out a hand as the ball seemed destined for the bottom corner.
Cray stuck to the task throughout and the whole team can be proud of their efforts in this hard fought victory and will now play Sevenoaks Town away in the Semi-Final on Sunday 24th April.

Cray line-up: Sharp, Henry, Morphitis, D'Urso, Rollings, Dodds, Goldsmith, Blanche (capt), Robertson, De Souza, Jackson. Subs: Knipe, Hicks.

Sunday 16th January 2022 - Kent Women's Plate
Third Round - Cray Valley 2 Dartford Reserves 1
Goals: CV - Robertson 18, 77
D - Ascott 4

ROBO DOUBLE CLINCHES PLATE WIN FOR MILLERS LADIES
An excellent game of football on a cold but sunny afternoon watched by a healthy sized turnout of onlookers saw Cray Valley Ladies clinch a narrow victory in this third round Kent Womens Plate cup tie. With the the two sides occupying first and second place in division one east of the SECWFL at the start of the day a tight affair was always likely and so it turned out to be with little to choose between the two teams.
Cray started brightly and Eve Sales went close heading over from close range. However it was Dartford who took an early lead in the 4th minute a pass splitting the defence for the winger to run onto and Aimee Ascott finished well from just inside the box. Dartford could have extended their lead but an outstretched leg saw the ball fly over the bar. Cray equalised in the 18th minute Lucy Robertson chipping the keeper from out wide and the ball dropping into the far corner of the net.
Cray were awarded a penalty just after the half hour but Annemarie Blanche saw her shot go wide of the target. Lia Morphitis went close with a shot just past the post but it remained 1-1 at the interval.
Second half and Cray began to dominate possession although Dartford looked dangerous on the break and had a goal ruled out for offside. With extra time looking a possibility Cray took the lead with thirteen minutes remaining, Lucy Robertson scoring her second of the game. The keeper blocked her initial effort as she broke through on goal but was able to control the rebound and calmly slot home past the defender on the line.
Cray saw the game out and the 2-1 victory sees them now face Bromley Ladies at home in the quarter final. Date to be confirmed although Sunday 30th January would seem likely.

Cray Valley line up: Sharp, Henry, De Sousa, Rollings, Morphitis, Jackson, Goldsmith, Chenery, Blanche, Robertson, Sales, Subs used (roll on, roll off) Billings, Bodington, Dodds. Subs not used: Colby, Knipe.

Match Report:
There was no fairytale start to the Millers Ladies first ever FA Cup campaign beaten 3-1 on their debut match in the first qualifying round by Tunbridge Wells Foresters at the Artic Stadium. Congratulations to the Foresters, deserved winners over the 90 minutes and they will now make the trip to take on Dartford Women managed by Cray Valley's Connor Dymond in the next round on Sunday 3rd October.
The Millers Ladies looked splendid in the their new blue kit, worn for the first time, sponsored by the Relative Group of Companies https://www.rgwgroup.co.uk . The Millers went behind on 25 minutes, a breakaway down the right and the low cross found Talia Hardie at the far post who finished well giving Millers keeper Samantha Sharp no chance. However the Millers probably created the better chances during that first half, Josie Elliott heading over from a difficult angle almost under the bar after good work from Lucy Robertson being the pick. The cross bar was struck from a Courtney Rollings effort in the box following a corner and another shot grazed the top. The equaliser came just a minute from the interval when Lucy Robertson's floated cross deflected off a defenders head and nestled into the bottom corner of the net. It appeared to be going in anyway so happy to credit Lucy with the goal.
It all seemed set for the Millers Ladies to win the game in the second half, as has happened many times in the past. However it was the Foresters who came out on top and they re-gained the lead in the 65th minute, a far post header by Kelly Moran finding its way over the line almost in slow motion agonisingly just out of the reach of Sam in goal. Louise Chenery had a couple of dangerous looking runs threw the middle but the Millers failed to impose themselves on the game in the second half. The Foresters made the game safe and with it passage through to the next round with five minutes remaining on the clock scoring from another breakaway this time finished by Becky Macklee.
So no complaints about the result but a sense of missed opportunity as the Millers Ladies didn't play as well as we know they can.
